We can offer small lorries (the same size as a 6 yard skip lorry), these lorries can carry up to 4.5m. Also 8m size lorries for larger amounts and when you have better access. Now we also can offer volumetric mix onsite lorries, or for when you have bad access we can offer our concrete line pumps.Our concrete pumps are becoming increasingly popular as they can be the answer to bad access and also save on labour costs and speed up progress of the project. We have line pumps (that run pipes along the ground) or our 24m boom pump (this has a crane arm that can be elevated). We can deliver a wide variety of concrete mixes from a shed base to water proof concrete. The process that they use is to make you aware of how much concrete is in the line that they have laid out, we make sure that we stop pumping when there is just enough room left in your site to take what is left in our hopper and the pipeline, when the hopper is almost empty, the operator will blow a ball by air pressure through the pipeline into your site so as to push all of the concrete into the site after this there will be about 2 wheelbarrows left in the hopper that can be wheeled into your site so there is almost no waste or mess at all.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.

How do I know if I need a retaining wall?

Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back soil or rock and prevent erosion on sloped terrain. You might need a retaining wall if:
  • Sloped Property: Your property has a significant slope, making it prone to soil erosion or landslides.
  • Creating Usable Space: You want to level off a sloped area to create a flat surface for patios, gardens, or other outdoor spaces.
  • Preventing Damage: Erosion is threatening existing structures, driveways, or walkways.
  • Landscaping Features: You're incorporating tiered gardens, raised beds, or other landscaping elements requiring soil retention.
Consult with an excavation contractor or landscape architect to determine if a retaining wall is necessary for your project and to ensure it's properly designed and constructed for safety and longevity.

What is the difference between cut and fill excavation?

Cut and fill excavation is a technique for balancing earthwork volumes on a site:
Cut: Involves excavating soil from an area where the existing grade is higher than the desired grade.
Fill: Refers to using the excavated soil ('cut' material) to raise the grade in an area where the existing grade is lower than desired.
This method minimizes the need to import or export soil, reducing costs and environmental impact. It's commonly used for site preparation, road construction, and landscaping.

What are the different methods of excavation?

Excavation methods vary depending on project needs, site conditions, and available resources. Some common methods include:
  • Mechanical Excavation: Utilizing heavy equipment like excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, and loaders, suitable for most projects.
  • Hand Excavation: Using hand tools (shovels, picks) for smaller excavations or delicate work near utilities.
  • Blasting: Employing explosives to break up rock or hard materials, typically for large-scale projects.
  • Hydro Excavation: Using high-pressure water jets to loosen and remove soil, often used for locating utilities or delicate excavation.
  • Vacuum Excavation: Employing a vacuum system to suck up excavated material, suitable for safe excavation near utilities or in confined spaces.
Excavation contractors choose the most appropriate method based on factors like efficiency, cost, safety, and environmental impact.
